Paperback. Focussing on the epistemic the way in which knowledge is understood,constructed,transmitted and used this book shows the way social workknowledge has been constructed from within a white western paradigm, andthe need for a critique of whiteness within social work at this epistemic level.Social work, emerging from the western Enlightenment world, has privilegedwhite western knowledge in ways that have been, until recently, largely unexaminedwithin its professional discourse. This imposition of white westernways of knowing has led to a corresponding marginalisation of other formsof knowledge. Drawing on views from social workers from Asia, the Pacificregion, Africa, Australia and Latin America, this book also includes a glossaryof over 40 commonly used social work terms, which are listed with their epistemologicalassumptions identified. Opening up a debate about the receivedwisdom of much social work language as well as challenging the epistemologicalassumptions behind conventional social work practice, this book will beof interest to all scholars and students of social work as well as practitionersseekingto develop genuinely decolonised forms of practice. Focussing on the epistemic: the way in which knowledge is understood, constructed, transmitted and used, this book shows the way social work knowledge has been constructed from within a white western paradigm, and the need for a critique of whiteness within social work at this epistemic level.

Acerca del autor
Sonia Tascón is a Lecturer in Social Work at Western Sydney University. A descendant of the Chilean Indigenous Mapuche Nation, a fact she discovered later in life, she is now committed to understanding and incorporating her indigeneity into her self-identification. Her lengthy academic career has almost completely focused on issues of race, whiteness, diaspora, and refugee and migrant rights. As a social work/ human rights practitioner her practice incorporated Indigenous health, youth and child mental health, as well as child protection, always with a concern for race as a dimension of inequality. In her later academic life, she took a turn towards the creative visual arts, always maintaining a race analysis and focus on communities as sources of sustenance. Her current interest lies on disrupting white epistemologies in social work and beyond, as a foundational means of achieving decolonisation.
